Subject: An incendiary introduction to fire
Geared for children, this Encyclopaedia Brittanica film describes the physical aspects of fire in an informative yet non-pedantic manner. The primary focus of the film, as one would expect, is explaining the role that oxygen plays in fuelling a fire. There is an entertaining segment that reveals various methods of putting out fires in which viewers are treated to the sight of a singed panda bear toy and an old-fashioned fire extinguisher. An enjoyable film fit for viewing during a cold, clear day.

Subject: I AM THE GOD OF HELL-FIRE, AND I BRING YOU...
Dry (and therefore combustible) Encyclopedia Britannica film about fire. WeâÂÂre shown how to make a campfire, some simple science about combustion, the uses of fire, and some simple ways to put out small accidental fires. Covers the basics in a not-too-boring fashion, but offers no surprises.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: **. Weirdness: **. Historical Interest: ***. Overall Rating: ***.

Subject: Fire & stuffed animals do not mix.
The many uses (and misuses) of fire are explored in this short. From maintaining (just barely) a brush fire to get rid of grass to the gas on your stove, fire has many uses. We then get into a somewhat interesting explanation of how fire works, then of course the good stuff, when fire gets out of control. (Oh no, Mr Panda!). All in all, an okay short.
